Whether you’re after super fresh QLD fruit or veggies, decadent pastries, or just a damn good coffee and a good time, these baller Brisbane markets have you covered.

Here are all the Best Brisbane markets to check out this July!

Mount Gravatt Marketta

We are HUGE fans of this gorgeous Marketta, and you should be too—the Mount Gravatt Marketta is a night market of foodie delights. No matter whether you’re north, east, west or bayside you should make the journey to the south for some epic street food, live music and beverages of the alcoholic variety.

Where: Mount Gravatt Showground

Food Truck Hub Night Market

New Brisbane food truck market, The Food Truck Hub is hitting up the corner of Chester & Ann St every Friday night—talk about spolit!

The Collective Markets Southbank

Nigh on a Brisbane institution (so much so we've mentioned it twice!), The Collective Markets on Southbank are a unique and colourful place. For one, they're open until 10pm on a Friday (which, you know is great), and they champion a whole host of local artists showcasing their wares; from handmade crafts, paintings, fashion and homewares to some of the tastiest street food in town. Perfect for an evening saunter on the southside.

Eat Street Northshore

If you want to feast on delicious foodstuffs and dishes from around the world, then eat until your little fat belly is full at Brisbane market, Eat Street Northshore. Earlier this year, they moved location and, are now bigger and better than ever with over 180 dining and entertainment shipping containers. I mean, even if you hit them up for their now infamous loaded doughnut fries, we won't judge you. We'd salute you, you utter legend!

Eagle Farm Markets

Come Sunday, stock up for the week on your fresh produce at the Eagle Farm Markets from their wide selection of stallholders. You can also refuel with some tucker and a coffee, and if you have kids, see what entertainment is happening for them—it’s different every week! That’s a morning well spent.

When: Sundays from 7am–12.30pm
Where: Eagle Farm

Bardon Markets

It may be small in size, but this cute community market is big in spirit; a favourite hang-out for Bardon/Rosalie locals. The Bardon Community Markets is usually stocked with fruit, veggies, eggs, meat, baked treats and some bric-a-brac, but from my point of view, the sausage roll man is their piece de resistance.

When: Sundays from 6am
Where: Norman Buchanan Park, Bardon

Jan Powers’ Powerhouse Markets

The Powerhouse Markets are perhaps the jewel in the Brisbane market crown. In a perfect location—right near the river and beside New Farm Park—these markets are particularly tempting when the sun is shining. Munch on some brunch from one of the many food stalls as you collect your fresh produce, all at reasonable market prices.

When: Saturdays from 6am–12noon
Where: Brisbane Powerhouse

Rocklea Markets

The Brisbane MarketPlace Rocklea Markets are serious markets for serious market goers. They’ve been going strong for years and showing no signs of slowing down—not even the 2011 floods could stop them. It’s a one stop shop, with everything from fruit and veg to meat and fish, treats, flowers, pet supplies, nuts, honey, eggs, dairy and So. Much. More. Buy in bulk, or don’t bother coming.

When: Saturdays 6am–12noon

Davies Park Market

Bustling and full of life, the Davies Park West End Market is one of the most iconic and visited Brisbane market. Beautifully shaded under large fig trees, you’ll find your usual market food and fare, great coffee, and musicians complete with that chilled-out West End vibe.

The Collective Markets

The Collective Markets is basically where the creative people of Brisbane – you know, the ones who sew, paint, pot, bead etc—sell their handmade goodies. Like a real-life Etsy, fuel-up for the hours of stall-perusing ahead with a snack from the various food vendors, or go crazy and get a tattoo…henna that is.
